New NWJC briefing paper explains why partnership working is vital in the women’s sector
Partnership working is the lifeblood of the women’s sector, enabling women’s organisations and women’s centres to address gaps in service provision and offer support in the most holistic and impactful ways possible. And increasingly so in the current social climate, the women’s sector relies on the power and benefits of collaborative working, sharing resources and developing solutions together, across alliances, partnerships and coalitions.
Our latest briefing paper – Understanding a Whole Systems Approach and why partnership working is valuable in the women’s sector – examines what good partnership working looks like in practice and explains how a Whole Systems Approach (WSA) improves outcomes for women by enabling agencies to use existing resources more efficiently, share information and coordinate and support women’s access to the specialist services they need.
